Who We Are
Statement:
Companion Animal Rescue Elite Services is a non-profit organization that's goal is to rescue stray, abandoned or unwanted companion animals. We do not take in the sick or injuried pets.
We are a small non-profit animal rescue. Our services are offered to all of Lancaster County. Our priority is in finding homes for companion animals in need.
We do not work with WILDLIFE, INJUIRED, FERRAL(wild), SICK or aggressive animals. We are staffed by volunteers only.
Please Note: All pets that come into CARES are screened, We do not always have room to take in pets because the room is not available. If you find a stray try placing an ad in the paper to locate owner or a new owner for the stray.
Adopting a friend
We have an application to be filled out before any new adoptions can be completed when visiting with the pet. We also have an adopton fee and contract for every animal that is adopted. These forms are only filled out prior to adoption, we do not mail or email them prior to adoptions. Information required is, vet refrences, landlord name and number or proof of ownership of home. Copy of taxes or morgage payment accepted. We are a small group of volunteers and it may take some time to get back to everyone.
Are adoption fees are,
Cats / Kittens -$75 this includes a spay/neuter deposit.
Dogs / Puppies-$250
These are non-refundable adoption fee which go towards the care of the adopted pet and future pets coming into our shelter. We dont guarantee the health of any pet adopted.
